How can I get the fleet command limit higher than 250?

Have you run out of repeatable Admiralty techs?

Yes

And I also built the fleet megastructure

I ran into the same issue and haven't found an answer for why yet. I think there are some civics or ruler traits that increase the FCL but, as a machine empire, I do not have access to them. What are you playing as atm?

I am playing an organic species, egalitarian and materialistic. But I never saw any ruler traits like that.
All the things that increase fleet limit only increase the overall fleet limit and not the command limit.

I believe that is the max so you just have multiple fleets following the slowest fleet for the same effect of one huge fleet.

Have you also got the fleet command expanding ascension perks and the Traditions? There's a quite a few in there, I think. prolly enough to increase fleet command cap by about 120-140 together with the ascension perk. THere's a thing with federation too. Though I'm not sure if it only increases fleet cap in general or if it increases fleet command cap as well.

What's multiplayer like in this game?

Edit: Sorry, way off topic, I know >.> Mods can delete it if they want.

Federation often kills a bit of naval capacity. I thought the limit was 500 based on the update notes for 2.2. It could very well have gotten killed off in 2.2.7 or earlier and I just missed it.

If you have about 250 its pretty high as is, and not really worth intensive efforts for more.

To get more would have you pursue traditions and ascendancy perks, which you don't really need. Most little things I can think of would cost you and barely make a difference, going for an additional 10-20 each.

Due to force disparity mechanics in Stellaris you don't want huge fleets either. A technologically inferior fleet can get easily wrecked this way, and having much more fleet command used does give them significant bonuses.

Not to mention the game freaks out when you have over 500k FP in combat in one system anyway. 250 usually lets me get 3 titans per fleet in for those sweet, sweet auras.

ok so 250 is basically the limit of the command limit.
Makes sense since the endgame crisis fleets were only 100-120k

So, from the Wiki:
"Command Limit

Command Limit is a limit on how large any one individual fleet in an empire can be. An empire's base command limit is 20, increased by the following to the maximum of 500:

+10 per hull type technology
+20 per fleet doctrine technology
+10 per Admiralty Support Staff technology (repeatable, but when Command Limit reaches 500 it's pointless to continue researching)
+10 Civic distinguished admiralty.png Distinguished Admiralty civic
+20 Tradition supremacy war games.png War Games \ Three-Dimensional Awareness \ Combat Variable Mitigation supremacy tradition
+20 Ap galactic force projection.png Galactic Force Projection ascension perk"
I think the wiki needs to be updated.
